 | It's Wednesday, June 13, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.  The E3 show floor has opened, and the event is in full swing. Now that we’ve seen what Nintendo has to offer, it’s time to start going in-depth with all the new games. We’ll have even more hands-ons and impressions of games like Anthem, The Last of Us: Part 2 and Kingdom Hearts III up on the site later today, so stay tuned. (View in browser.) The company said it still has more employees than it did when the year started.  In a company email he shared on Twitter, CEO Elon Musk stated that Tesla's aggressive growth resulted in duplicated roles, so these layoffs will help the company reduce costs and become profitable. Musk wrote: "These cuts were almost entirely made from our salaried population and no production associates were included, so this will not affect our ability to reach Model 3 production targets in the coming months." | | Never too early to speculate.  Microsoft hinted at its next Xbox console during this week’s E3 presentation, and now Thurrott.com reports on a rumor that the system, codenamed Scarlett, is scheduled for release in 2020. There are no technical details, but it's described as a "family of devices." | | The floodgates are open.  US District Judge Richard Leon has issued his ruling on a lawsuit brought by the Department of Justice and declared that AT&T can buy Time Warner. Judge Leon reportedly put no conditions on the deal, and the result of this case stands to have far-reaching effects on the media landscape and other groups considering or seeking vertical mergers. Comcast is expected to extend a formal bid for Fox, while deals like the T-Mobile/Sprint team up are already pending. | | Sponsored Content by Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit: Crypto | | ‘SSB Ultimate’ supports GameCube controllers and includes every fighter ever.  If you have eight minutes, we can show you all the highlights from Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct event at E3. And now the show floor is open, we can even take a walking tour of the company’s booth. While it included plenty of Smash Bros., Mario Party and even Fortnite, it was missing one small thing -- where’s Metroid Prime 4? | | How much do you hate the notch?  If Lenovo's failure to deliver a genuine full-screen display for the Z5 left you feeling burned, Vivo's flagship Nex could ease the pain. The Nex is making the transition from concept phone to retail product -- in China, at least -- and boasts an impressive 91.24 percent screen-to-body ratio. Tucked behind its 6.59-inch Ultra FullView display is an eight-megapixel camera that ascends whenever you summon it to take a selfie. | | Quality over quantity.  Sony's decision to make its event small and focused was a power move from a company that doesn't have much to prove. It has clearly won this generation of the console wars, outselling the Xbox One by a ratio of almost two to one. Now, the company can concentrate on showing off its first-party titles that will keep the PS4 propped up as it enters its relative old age. | | But wait, there's more... | | | |
